Very well said. I told the friend that turned me onto Tumblr, it’s like they took the market that they owned, owned, and just handed it to Tumblr and a few others and said “Here, we aren’t interested in making money from these fuckhead photo bloggers. If you’ll take ‘em off our hands we’ll blow you.” There was a time I couldn’t imagine the web without SU.
R.I.P Stumbleupon

That is absolutely what they did, the last version update sent people to tumblr in DROVES. SU supports that, they think tumblr is great and I have heard 3 staff members offer blogging on tumblr as a solution to the lack of blogging features SU provides. They have NO idea how addicting tumblr is, that it will easily consume the online time of it’s bloggers fully. They really think people are going to click the stumble button and get old content when they could scroll their dash for new stuff? Believe me, if *I* can be converted from full time Stumbler to full time Tumblr… well lets just say, I don’t think SU is looking at the big picture.
This. I didn’t appreciate how much the blogging which created community was part of why stumbled. I rarely hit the button, and I haven’t submitted new content in a long time.
